NOC and Ticketing

If you need to report a problem to the NOC, either visit the help desk
or send an email to tickets@meeting.ietf.org. Issues can also be
reported via the web-based front end to the ticketing system found at:
http://noc.meeting.ietf.org (trac).
You can also use trac to review outstanding tickets before reporting an
issue or to update outstanding tickets.

Jabber
------

There is also a Jabber room available to report issues and communicate
with the NOC at noc@jabber.ietf.org.

Network Basics
--------------

The IETF 78 network is connected to the Internet via two 1G links
provided by SURFnet, the R&E network of the Netherlands.  The entire
event uses addresses out of the 130.129.0.0/16 block for IPv4 and
2001:df8::/32 for IPv6.
      
Wireless
--------
      
An 802.11 a/b/g/n wireless network is provided. Areas specifically
covered are the meeting rooms and common areas throughout the MECC
Conference Centre.

Authenticating to the production wireless network can be done in either
of two ways:

 * using WPA/WPA2 Enterprise using the ietf.1x (2.4Ghz/5Ghz) and
   ietf-a.1x (5Ghz) SSIDs

 * using a web portal on the ietf-portal (2.4Ghz/5Ghz) and
   ietf-a-portal (5Ghz) SSIDS.

The user names for these networks are your registration ID number which
can be found on your registration confirmation email, conference
receipt, or back of your badge, and is either 6 or 10 digits long.

The password for all methods is "ietf".

Alternatively, completely anonymous access tokens are available at the
Help Desk and at the IETF Registration Desk.

Each User credential is valid for the entire meeting, and will allow up
to 5 simultaneous logins.

Experimental Networks
---------------------

The IETF supports several experimental networks to deploy our own work.
Enjoy that dogfood!

 * SSID of ietf-v6ONLY with WPA/WPA2 Enterprise and the normal
   IETF credentials provides an IPv6-only network for
   investigating IPv6 in the absence of IPv4

 * SSID of ietf-nat64 with no access credentials provides a
   demonstration of NAT64

 * SSID of eduroam with your normal eduroam credentials
   provides an instance of the eduroam project

white and one color.
